ideas worth stealingContest: Trading answers for posts
Got a little blogging contest for you. Here are the rules.
- Write a blog post that links to the Amazon pages for Designing the Moment or Designing the Obvious.
- Send me the link to your blog post.
If you win, I’ll do a free, 1-hour Q&A session, by phone, for you and 5 of your closest friends, where you can ask me anything you want.
The contest starts right now (posts written before today don’t count — UPDATE: find out why here) and ends on Tuesday, July 15th at 11:59pm. I’ll notify the winner by email, and we’ll arrange a date and time for the call then.
To choose the winner, I’ll write up the names of everyone who sends me a link to a qualifying blog post on a piece of paper, cut it up, and throw the pieces into a hat, then have an innocent bystander choose a name from the hat.
(Hint! Get your 5 friends to do a blog post as well to increase your group’s odds of being picked.)
Good luck!

What a great way to generate sales! Tricky Tricky ;) No need to bribe me though, your books are great, and speak for themselves. I will reference Designing the Obvious in one of my upcoming posts.
Keep writing!
